still broke; sometimes knitting

finished!

I bound this shawl off the same evening I finished my last paper. It was quite a day for finished projects.

This a pretty straightforward project: stockinette until I got bored; a simple eyelet and garter-ridge pattern repeated a few times until I started to run out of yarn; a garter-stitch border to keep the edges flat. Easy-peasy. And fully of soft bunnies!

The only little bit of cleverness is the mirrored decreases in the eyelet portions: right-leaning to the center stitch, left-leaning to the edge. A silly detail hardly noticeable.

Unfortunately — or perhaps fortunately — it’s been much too warm here in the Northwest to get any actual wear out of this shawl, as the wool/angora blend promises to be quite toasty and soft.
